Ethan Grimett selected as All-State Defensive Lineman. “I'm so proud of Ethan. Ethan played linebacker for years, but he was willing to switch to the defensive line his senior year because that is where his team needed him. His unselfish attitude paid off in a big way. I look forward to coaching Ethan one last time this summer in the All-State game.” - Coach Hurt The All-State game East vs West will be Jul 29, 2022. Of course, we all know moms are their kids’ biggest fan, and in this family that is definitely true. “This was his first year in the position and to get picked for All-State speaks volumes of his work ethic. Our family is so proud of you Big E! A huge thanks to the coaches who have poured into him over the years. He’s had an amazing career as a Zebra and gets to suit up one more time as an All-Stater!” - Michelle Eaton UPDATE - Ethan has committed to play for the Falcons at Friends University in Wichita, KS. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Volleyball started a new tradition - leaving a legacy on and off the court. Beginning this year, each senior will choose a brick in the locker room to leave their handprint, name, and number representing their effort in building this program. This year's seniors sacrificed their blood, sweat, tears, and time for something bigger than themselves. We look forward to seeing ALL our seniors represented on this wall. May these bricks be a reminder for those who come after you of the foundation of sacrifice it takes to build a ZEBRA NATION. #CPSZEBARPRIDE

Claremore’s Maddox Thomas – VYPE Athlete Spotlight Role models can play a big role in the lives of high school student-athletes. They not only make an impact on how they play the game, but they also influence the type of person they become. While some look up to professional athletes or celebrities, Maddox Thomas says that her biggest influence is someone a little closer to home.
